The house is approx. 400 years old and the garden centre is located with a courtyard. There are 16 acres to the back of the property that are home to horses and cattle during the summer. We have one field that is being re-wilded and this is home to native Irish wildlife such as foxes, badgers and a variety of native birds.
The property is a short walk from the main village that has public transport, pubs, shops and a post office. Other amenities such as woodland walks, hurling and soccer pitches are in close proximity. We are located close to the Eco Village.
